INSTITUTION State Univ. of New York, Albany. SPONS AGENCY New York State Education Dept., Albany. Bureau of Secondary Curriculum Development. PUB DATE 70 NOTE 285p. EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$1.25 HC-$14.35 DESCRIPTORS African Culture, *African History, Case Studies, Concept Teaching, *Grade 9, *Inductive Methods, Inquiry Training, Instructional Materials, Multimedia Instruction, *Resource Materials, Secondary Grades, Social Change, Social Studies Units, *Teaching Guides, Urbanization ABSTRACT This guide provides a sampling of reference materials which are pertinent for two ninth grade units: Africa South of the Sahara: Land and People, and Africa South of the Sahara: Historic Trends. The effect of urbanization upon traditional tribalistic cultures is the focus. A case study is used to encourage an inductive approach to the learning process. It is based upon the first hand accounts of Jomo Kenyatta and Mugo Gatheru as they grew up within the traditions of their ethnic group --the Kikuyu of Kenya. Materials using the "mystery story" approach are included for an analysis of the iron age culture at Zimbabwe. The case study package purposely does not go into detail on such steps as the identification of theme and the determination of procedures to encourage individualization. The latter part of the guide is arranged as a reference section by subtopic or understanding including questions suggesting the direction of inquiry, and pertinent reading selections, diagrams, maps and drawings. Finally, an annotated bibliography lists materials that are currently in print or available through regional libraries.

  • Week 12 - Day 2
    Week 12 - Day 2 Gathering Together by Justin and Amber Paulk For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them. Matthew 18:20 What a glorious promise from Christ! Come together and He will join you. Whether it’s a happy celebration or a mournful meeting (and certainly all the days in between), how comforting to know that whenever we gather together with others, Christ promises to come along, too. This is what we see in this verse: • God encourages us to gather with others and promises to come alongside our gatherings; • Whenever God is present, so also are His fruits of the spirit including: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and love First dates can be extremely nerve wracking! “What should I wear?” “Does my hair look good?” “Did I put on deodorant?” “Brush my teeth?” “Is there something sticking out my nose?” All these questions and more fill our minds when we go on first dates—and with good reason—because sometimes our first dates leave a whole lot to be desired! This is one FOTP’s married couple’s account of their awkward first date: “Even though we have been married for 19 years, my wife still makes fun of what I wore on our first date. I had on a green Germany national team soccer jersey with purple jeans. Naturally, they were tight-rolled. (Google it!) In hindsight, I was literally repulsive to look at just based on my color combination! I took her to an Italian restaurant where she chose spaghetti as her main entrée.

  • Judging Panel for 2021 Royal Society Science Book Prize Announced
    **For release Wednesday 21stJuly** JUDGING PANEL FOR 2021 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE ANNOUNCED “Science communication has always been very important, to entertain, inform and inspire. This has never been more relevant than this year.” – Professor Luke O’Neill #SciBooks The five-strong judging panel for this year’s Royal Society Science Book Prize, sponsored by Insight Investment, is revealed today, Wednesday 21st July 2021. The Prize – which celebrates the very best in popular science writing from around the world – will be chaired in 2021 by world-leading immunologist, presenter and writer, Professor Luke O’Neill FRS. He is joined on the panel by representatives from across the worlds of science and culture: television presenter, Ortis Deley; mathematician and Dorothy Hodgkin Royal Society Fellow, Dr Anastasia Kisil; author and creative writing lecturer, Christy Lefteri, and journalist, writer and film maker, Clive Myrie. For 33 years, the Prize has promoted the accessibility and joy of popular science writing. It has celebrated some truly game-changing reads: books that offer fresh insights on the things that affect the lives we lead and the decisions we make, from neurodiverse perspectives on everyday living (Explaining Humans by Dr Camilla Pang, 2020) to gender bias (Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, 2019) and the harms humans are wreaking on the planet (Adventures in the Anthropocene by Gaia Vince, 2015, and Six Degrees by Mark Lynas, 2008). In 2021, the judges renew their search for the most compelling science writing of the last year, at a time when the power of effective science communication is valued more highly than ever before.

  • Channel 4 Response to Ofcom's Consultation on 'Protecting Participants in TV and Radio Programmes'
    Channel 4 response to Ofcom’s consultation on ‘Protecting participants in TV and radio programmes’ Executive Summary • Channel 4 considers that treating contributors to programmes with due care is of paramount importance, separate to and including our responsibilities under the Ofcom Broadcasting Code (“the Code”).1 • Contributor care has for many years been, and continues to remain, a central priority for us. Working with our production partners we develop comprehensive, proactive and robust welfare protocols and processes which are regularly reviewed and updated. • We take a bespoke approach to contributor care, with the type of support given tailored to the individual nature of each situation. In our experience, what constitutes the proper exercise of our duty of care in each programme depends very much on the nature of the programme, and a ‘one size fits all’ or standard template approach is not appropriate. • As such, we welcome Ofcom’s recognition that “different types of participation may raise very different risks of harm to participants.” And that any proposed new rules “need to be flexible enough to work in a range of situations, and to take account of the fact that very different types and levels of care may be necessary.” • Channel 4 recognises that Ofcom, as the broadcast regulator, has an important role to play in ensuring consistent standards in contributor care across the industry and we believe our current approach is aligned with what Ofcom is seeking to deliver • Whilst we agree that it is vital that Ofcom should be able to provide guidance to the industry and to deal effectively with complaints by viewers and contributors, it must do so within the parameters of the authority granted to it by Parliament and with due regard to other rights and duties including the right to freedom of expression as expressed in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

  • Skins and the Impossibility of Youth Television
    Skins and the impossibility of youth television David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays, can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In 2007, the UK media regulator Ofcom published an extensive report entitled The Future of Children’s Television Programming. The report was partly a response to growing concerns about the threats to specialized children’s programming posed by the advent of a more commercialized and globalised media environment. However, it argued that the impact of these developments was crucially dependent upon the age group. Programming for pre-schoolers and younger children was found to be faring fairly well, although there were concerns about the range and diversity of programming, and the fate of UK domestic production in particular. Nevertheless, the impact was more significant for older children, and particularly for teenagers. The report was not optimistic about the future provision of specialist programming for these age groups, particularly in the case of factual programmes and UK- produced original drama. The problems here were partly a consequence of the changing economy of the television industry, and partly of the changing behaviour of young people themselves. As the report suggested, there has always been less specialized television provided for younger teenagers, who tend to watch what it called ‘aspirational’ programming aimed at adults. Particularly in a globalised media market, there may be little money to be made in targeting this age group specifically.

  • First Dates Sop Casting Rel Final
    SLICE™ IS LOOKING FOR SINGLES TO STAR IN NEW CANADIAN DOCUMENTARY SERIES FIRST DATES CANADA Watch a Sneak Peek of First Dates Canada at http://bit.ly/1DwCehs Follow us on Twitter at @shawmediaTV_PR For Immediate Release TORONTO, January 9, 2015 – Force Four Entertainment and Remedy Canada Productions, in association with Shaw Media, are proud to announce the start of production on First Dates Canada, a new Canadian documentary series scheduled to air on Slice in 2015. Based on the hit format from Warner Bros. International Television Production, First Dates Canada brings viewers a compulsively watchable look at the attractions, the heartaches, the connections, and the perils of a first date. Filmed on location in Vancouver, each episode of First Dates Canada documents a restaurant of single men and women who have been paired up for a first date with someone they’ve never met. The restaurant is fitted with more than 40 hidden cameras capturing every moment of the ensuing, and sometimes cringe-worthy, conversational foreplay. Honest and observational at its core, First Dates Canada is a real-life romantic comedy where the players direct themselves. "First Dates Canada is an innovative, entertaining, and incredibly addictive take on the world of modern dating,” said Toby Dormer, President, Remedy Productions Ltd. “We’re sending real singles on real first dates and documenting the drama that unfolds.” "Our production team is already casting Vancouver singles genuinely looking for love,” said John Ritchie, Chief Creative Officer, Force Four Entertainment. “This is a golden opportunity for people of all types, ages, and orientations to have us find their perfect match.” Online applications for First Dates Canada can be filled out by visiting www.Slice.ca/First-Dates-Canada.
